[:en]This is was Jonadab, the forefathers of Recabites commanded them: “Neither you nor your descendants must ever drink wine. Also you must never build houses, sow seed or plant vineyards; you must never have any of these things, build must always live in tents. Then you will live a long time in the land where you are nomads” (v. 6-7) And they had obeyed everything told.
But the Israelites did not obey what the Lord had commanded them to do: to turn from their wicked ways, reform their actions and not to follow or serve other gods (v. 15) So God brought disaster to them.
We can follow man’s good traditions as long as it is in accordance with God’s truth.[:]
